A MYSTERIOUS Murder.

New YORK, Oct. 3.-The little village
Of Islay, l.. l., has its murder
mystery. About 9 o'clock yes
terday morning resident who
was going through the woods north
of town discovered the mutilated body
of q woman half hidden in a clump OF
bushes. The body was recognized as
Mrs. Francis Hawkins, a wealthy widow
residing at Islay. The Islay people are
greatly wrought up over the crime, and
should the murderer be found before the
feeling has had time to die out, there
will be nosneed Of trial by jury.
Suspicion points to F. s. Ashley
Hawkins, the dead lady's elder son as
the murderer. 1t seems that Mrs
Hawkins was reading in her parlor at
nine O'Clock Saturday, when her two
sons went out. The elder son hired q
horse and buggy at the livery stable in
the village few minutes later. He re-
turned to the stable with the buggy at
eleven o'clock that night, and took
it out again at six O'Clock on
Sunday morning. Just after he left the
stables on Sunday, it was discovered by
the hands that there was blood on the
floor where the buggy had stood, and
IL was 1OunQ tnaC tne cushion or the
buggy was saturated with blood, and
that the bottom Of the wagon was STAIN
ed with it. Then Hawkins bed room
was examined, and quantity OF blood
stained clothing was discovered hid In a
trunk. 1t was also found that
there were freshly made tracks leading
from the livery stable to Mrs. Hawkins
house, and from the house to where the
body was found. The horse that Haw-
kins drove on Saturday night had
bar-shoe on the left fore foot, and a
broken shoe on the lett hind foot. The
freshly made tracks are made by horse
similarly shod. What led Hawkins to
commit the crime is a question that has
started all sorts of rumors in Islay.
He was hard drinker, and
was fond Of consorting with
low company. Mrs. Hawkins was
wealthy and had a life interest in all the
property left by her husband. She fire.
quently leotured her son about his bad
habits and it seems that they had sever
al Quarrels. Later, when young
Hawkins announced his intention OF
marrying Hattie Scheck, who was a
servant In family, his mother violently
opposed 1t.
